     (BEGIN SONG: The Eagles - "One of These Nights")

     INT. VANDELE HOME - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

     There is a giant sign that hangs near a wall that reads 
     "Goodbye, Stacy." STACY CIFARETTO is sitting on the 
     couch. She seems to be waiting.

     TITLE CARD: "8:47 P.M."

     INT. VANDELE HOME - LIVING ROOM - LATER

     Stacy is still sitting on the couch. She is resting her 
     head against her hand. She sighs. Still no one is there.

     TITLE CARD: "10:23 P.M."

							TIME FADE TO:

     INT. VANDELE HOME - LIVING ROOM - LATER

     Stacy is now lying on the couch, sleeping. The lights 
     are off. Suddenly the door slowly opens and we can hear 
     laugher. BRIAN VANDELE and BROCK WARNER walk through.

     Brian turns on the lights. He quickly notices Stacy, who 
     continues to sleep. He looks over and notices the 
     hanging sign.

                                BRIAN
                    Oh shit, we forgot her farewell 
                    party...

     Brian seems a bit embarrassed.

                                BROCK
                    Ooops...

     FADE IN:

     INT. BRIAN'S BEDROOM - MORNING

     Title Card: "The Next Morning"

     Brian is sleeping comfortably on his bed. Suddenly Stacy 
     bursts through the door.

                                STACY
                    Brian?

     She takes notice that he's sleeping. She goes over and 
     starts to shake him.     

     Brian wakes up. Brian takes his pillow and hits her with 
     it.

                                BRIAN
                              (angry)
                    What do you want?!

                                STACY
                    You have to drive me to the 
                    Airport.

                                BRIAN
                    Why?

                                STACY
                    Well, my license is kinda...
                    suspended.

     Brian looks a little confused. She gives a nervous smile 
     but it quickly goes away.

                                BRIAN
                    Okay, what about Mom?

                                STACY
                    She's not here.

                                BRIAN
                    Why?

                                STACY
                    Well, we went out celebrating my 
                    leaving at this male strip club -

                                BRIAN
                    What?!

                                STACY
                    It's this place where men will take 
                    their pants off for - 

                                BRIAN
                            (overlapping)
                    Skip ahead to the part as to where 
                    have to drive you there.

                                STACY
                    Basically she got hammered and...
                    well she tried to drive home.

                                BRIAN
                    And you let her?

                                STACY
                    She slipped me some jello shots! We 
                    came home, I fell into a drunken 
                    sleep, and I woke up and surprise, 
                    surprise, she's not here!

     Stacy starts to get red in the face, like she's about to 
     cry.

                                STACY
                          (starts to cry)
                    And I can't drive myself to the 
                    airport and Mom's gone and if I 
                    can't get there I can't go to 
                    college and get a good job and have 
                    a great lif -

                                BRIAN
                           (overlapping)
                    ALRIGHT, alright! I'll drive you.

     Stacy stops crying immediately.

                                STACY
                    Good, we have to go pretty soon, so 
                    get dressed. I took the liberty of 
                    loading all of my things into your 
                    car already. Thanks a bunch!

     Stacy leaves the room, leaving Brian looking very 
     confused.

                                BRIAN
                    I hate it when she cries on 
                    command...

									CUT TO:

     EXT. VANDELE HOUSE - MINUTES LATER

     Stacy is in Brian's car waiting. She is blasting the 
     Coldplay song "Speed of Sound." Brian emerges from the 
     house and walks over to the car. He gets in.

                                STACY (O.S.)
                    Hey, look. I got the new Coldplay 
                    CD for the ride to Indy.

     After a few seconds, the song immediately stops. Brian 
     gets out of the car, holding the CD. Suddenly he begins 
     to snap the CD into a million little pieces. He drops 
     the little pieces into the yard and gets back in.

                                BRIAN (O.S.)
                    Thank me later.

									FADE TO:
     EXT. KATE DAVIDSON'S HOUSE - SAME

     CHRIS HUGHES and KATE DAVIDSON emerge from the house and 
     head for a gray car.

                                CHRIS
                    C'mon, we don't want to be late.

                                KATE
                    Why am I even going to this? I 
                    don't even know this girl.

                                CHRIS
                    It's Brian's sister, Stacy Cifaretto.

                                KATE
                    I don't know who fucking Stacy 
                    Cifaretto is. Why would I want to 
                    go to her party when I don't know 
                    who she is?

                                CHRIS
                    There's going to be cake...

     She suddenly seems happy.                            

                                KATE
                    Chocolate?

                                CHRIS
                    Sure.

                                KATE
                    Alright, I'm in.
                              (beat)
                    Is it all right if I drive?

                                CHRIS
                    Sure.

     Chris tosses her a set of keys.

                                CHRIS
                    Big round one.

                                KATE
                    Okay.

     Kate enters on the driver's side, while Chris gets in 
     the passenger side.

     INT. CHRIS' CAR - CONTINUOUS

     Chris is buckling up, while Kate starts the car.

                                CHRIS
                    Did you take your medicine?

     She gets him a frustrated look.

                                KATE
                            (sarcastic)
                    Yes, mother.

                                CHRIS
                    Really?

                                KATE
                             (sarcastic)
                    Yeah, in fact I took double the 
                    recommended dosage just to make 
                    sure I'm extra sane.

     She giggles, he gives her a look.

                                KATE
                    Uh, it was a joke Chris. 
                          (notices cold stare)
                    What?

                                CHRIS
                    I was just checking in on you.

                                KATE
                    Hey, if I can't joke about mental 
                    illness what can I joke about?

     Chris smiles. Kate notices something in the backseat.

                                KATE
                    What the hell is that?

                                CHRIS
                    Oh, it's a bowling ball and a giant 
                    stick.

     Kate looks at him.

                                KATE
                    Why do you have those things?

                                CHRIS
                    In case I go bowling...and in case 
                    I need a stick.

     Kate scoffs.

                                KATE
                    And I'm the one taking the crazy 
                    pills.

     Kate puts the car in drive and pulls away.

     INT. BRIAN'S CAR - MINUTES LATER

     Brian is driving, now fully awake. Stacy is sitting next 
     to him, reading a book. Brian looks over at the book.

                                BRIAN
                    Hey, that's one of my books!

                                STACY
                    Yeah I know.

     Stacy turns the page, glued to the book.

                                STACY
                    Your taste in books isn't too bad.

                                BRIAN
                    Why did you take my book?

                                STACY
                    Because, you had a bunch of big 
                    hard cover books, I took them so my 
                    roommate would think I'm 
                    intellectual.

                                BRIAN
                    But you're not.

                                STACY
                    But Miss Samantha Gilroy will think 
                    that I am.

                                BRIAN
                    You know who your roommate is 
                    already?

                                STACY
                    Yeah, I got her name from the 
                    college and started talking to her 
                    online. You know, to break the ice.

                                BRIAN
                    So, you're trying to fool someone 
                    who you've already talked to into 
                    thinking that you're an 
                    intellectual?

                                STACY
                    Yep.

     Stacy thinks about what she's just agreed too.

                                STACY
                    Oh, damn it!

     She throws the book in the back seat. They ride in 
     Silence. Stacy starts to look out the window. After a 
     while she reaches into her purse, and pulls down a 
     mirror, and pulls out a stick of lipstick from her purse 
     and starts applying it.

                                BRIAN
                    What are you doing?
 
                                STACY
                    Putting on lipstick.

                                BRIAN
                    Why are you putting on lipstick? 
                    It's probably going to rub off 
                    before you get off the plane.

                                STACY
                    Yeah but if the plane crashes I 
                    want to go out fashionably.

                                BRIAN
                    In the unlikely event that the 
                    plane does crash, your body will be 
                    burned, charred, battered, bruised 
                    and overall too fucked up for 
                    anyone to know you had it on.

     Beat.

                                STACY
                    But I'll know.

     Brian rolls his eyes and looks down at the clock.

                                BRIAN
                             (to himself)
                    I'm missing Spider-Man!

                                STACY
                    What?

                                BRIAN
                    Nothing.

     Brian sighs.

                                BRIAN
                    When does your flight leave?

                                STACY
                    At one.

                                BRIAN
                    What...?

                                STACY
                    One p.m. is something wrong with 
                    that?

                                BRIAN
                    Yes!

                                STACY
                    And that would be?

                                BRIAN
                    Well, Indy is an hour and a half 
                    away, tops. But here we are at nine 
                    in the morning, driving you to a 
                    flight that will leave three hours 
                    after you get there.

                                STACY
                    Yeah, but since we left early we'll 
                    beat the traffic.

     Brian looks around at the deserted highway.

                                BRIAN
                    I hate you.

									CUT TO:

     EXT. BRIAN'S HOUSE - SAME

     WILL COOPER, JOEL MAYBERRY, CASEY JENNINGS, and REICTHER 
     are standing at the doorway. Casey is holding about a 
     dozen balloons each saying "goodbye" or "farewell." 
     Reicther is holding a cake box. Joel has some CDs under 
     his arm. Casey knocks.

     There is no answer. Casey knocks harder.

                                REICTHER
                    Are you sure she's even still here?

                                CASEY
                    Yeah, I mean she wouldn't leave 
                    without saying good-bye...Right?

                                WILL
                    I don't know, I know that if I were 
                    in her place I would want to get 
                    out of this backwoods-hell hole as 
                    soon as possible.

                                JOEL
                    You're so optimistic.

                                BROCK
                    Well, if they're gone, what are we 
                    going to do all day?

     Beat.

                                REICTHER
                    You guys just want to hang out here?

     Beat.

                                CASEY
                    Why the hell not?

                                JOEL
                    Sounds good to me.

									FADE TO:

     INT. VANDELE HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - MINUTES LATER

     The guys have made themselves at home. The "Goodbye, 
     Stacy" sign is still up. There is a table set up in the 
     corner which Casey is fixing up with food and drinks. 
     Joel is at the stereo, messing with something. Will is 
     on the phone.

                                WILL
                    Well, no answer from Brock.

     He hangs up. Reicther enters carrying the cake box.

                                WILL
                    What's the cake look like anyway, 
                    Reicther?

                                REICTHER
                    It's one of those ice cream cakes.

     Joel and Casey turn as Reicther opens up the box.

                                REICTHER
                    Ta-da! 

     The cake has white frosting with "Good Riddance, Stacy" 
     written on it.

                                WILL
                    Oh, Jesus Reicther!

     Casey and Joel sigh and go back to what they were doing.

                                REICTHER
                    What?

                                WILL
                    The woman is leaving, Reicther. We 
                    might never see her again and you 
                    put 'good riddance' on her cake?

                                REICTHER
                    I'll have you know that this cake has 
                    not one, but five different kinds of 
                    chocolate inside of it. Five! I 
                    don't know much about women, but I 
                    know this: They like the chocolate. 
                    This cake could say "Go fuck your 
                    mother, Stacy!" or "Way to rape the 
                    innocent, Stacy!' or and she won't 
                    care. Why? Because it has FIVE 
                    KINDS OF CHOCOLATE, WILL!

     Casey's head quickly pops up. He comes over and takes 
     the cake. He heads for the kitchen. Reicther heads off 
     after him.

                                REICTHER
                   Hey! Save me at least a piece you 
                   fat...
                             (trails off)

     He exits. Will goes over to Joel.

                                WILL
                   So, Joel. Where's your old secret 
                   girlfriend at?

                                JOEL
                   Cathy is out shopping with her 
                   mother. Besides, you think I'm dumb 
                   enough to bring her to Brian's house?

                                WILL
                   You were dumb enough to bring her to 
                   the emergency room when Brian got in 
                   the accident.

     Beat.

                                JOEL
                   Oh, yeah. I did.

     He shakes his head and searches through a pile of CDs.

                                JOEL
                   Hey, what do you want to listen to?

                                WILL
                   It doesn't matter.

                                JOEL
                   Huh, that's weird.

                                WILL
                   What?

                                JOEL
                   I accidentally took my mom's 
                   Coldplay CD.

                                WILL
                   Ugh! Coldplay!

     Will looks disgusted. Pause. After a few seconds Will 
     and Joel look at each other, as if they have an idea.

                                WILL
                   Frisbee anyone?

                                JOEL
                   Oh yeah.

     Will and Joel run out of the room.

									CUT TO: 						

     INT. BRIAN'S CAR – SAME (DRIVING)

     Brian is focused on driving, while Stacy is staring dead 
     ahead. She's in deep thought.

                                STACY
                    Brian...do you think I've been a 
                    good sister?

                                BRIAN
                             (quickly)
                    No.

                                STACY
                            (Surprised)
                    What?

                                BRIAN
                    To be honest you haven't. But I'm 
                    no better. I've really been nothing 
                    more then a piece of shit brother.

                                STACY
                    You honestly believe that?

                                BRIAN
                    Yes I do.

     Pause.

                                STACY
                    We're not that bad.

                                BRIAN
                    Okay. We've been living together 
                    for a little over a year now. Just 
                    recently I realized that your last 
                    name isn't Saunders. Then to make 
                    things worse, I then thought your 
                    name was Stacy Vandele.

     Stacy realizes he's right.

                                STACY
                    Well...It's really just an honest 
                    mistake.

                                BRIAN
                    Oh yeah. And another thing, I can't 
                    for the life of me, name a single 
                    friend of yours.

                                STACY
                    You can't?

                                BRIAN
                    Nope.

     Brian adjusts the rearview mirror, as he does he sees 
     something in the back seat.

                                BRIAN
                    You took my transcript too!?

                                STACY
                    Transcript?

     Brian reaches back and pulls out a binder.

                                BRIAN
                    Yeah, the transcript...Of my book...

                                STACY
                               (nervous)
                    Oh... You wrote a book?

     Stacy pauses.

                                STACY
                    Holy shit. We're the worst siblings 
                    ever spawned!

                                BRIAN
                    We're not so bad.

                                STACY
                    Really?

                                BRIAN
                    Sure. Donny and Marie were a hell 
                    of a lot worse.

                                STACY
                    At least they talked to each other.

                                BRIA	N
                    No they didn't. They SANG to each 
                    other. Those creepy bastards, those 
                    minions of hell...

     He shudders.

                                STACY
                    I don't know, I always thought 
                    Donny was kinda cute.

     Brian pulls the car over quickly.

                                BRIAN
                    Get out of my car.

                                STACY
                    Relax...I was just kidding.

     Brian still looks suspicious.

                                STACY
                    Just drive the damn car, Brian.

     Brian pulls back onto the road. There is an 
     awkward silence. Stacy buries herself in a 
     magazine. 

                                BRIAN
                    If you turn Mormon, I will disown 
                    you.

                                STACY
                    Likewise.

                                BRIAN
                    Oh, fuck on a stick.

                                STACY
                    What?

     She looks up from her magazine. Ahead of them is at 
     least a mile long traffic jam.

                                BRIAN
                    ...Well, it looks like we have some 
                    time on our hands...want to try to 
                    be better siblings?

     Stacy throws the magazine on the dashboard.

                                STACY
                    Sure, I'll start. What the hell do 
                    you have to write a book about?

                                BRIAN
                    I've been told I'm very creative.

                                STACY
                    So, it's fiction?

                                BRIAN
                    Yeah, what real life experiences 
                    would I have to make a book? I sit 
                    in my room playing video games all 
                    day. What person in their right 
                    fucking mind would want to read 
                    something about me?

    Beat.

                                BRIAN
                    Now, I have a question.

                                STACY
                    Okay, shoot.

                                BRIAN
                    This has kinda been...something...
                    that has been bothering me for a 
                    while.

                                STACY
                    Okay. What is it?

                                BRIAN
                    ...Are you gay?

     Beat.

                                STACY
                    I'm bisexual, actually.

                                BRIAN
                    Oh.

     Awkward pause.

                                BRIAN
                    Well, I guess you won't have to deal 
                    with unfamiliar sex organs...except 
                    for the half of the time when 
                    you're with guys...

     Another awkward pause. She starts to laugh.

                                STACY
                    This is really, really weird.

     INT. CHRIS' CAR - SAME (DRIVING)

     Kate is intent on driving while Chris is reading over a 
     piece of paper.

                                KATE
                    When's the next turn?

                                CHRIS
                    West Walnut.

     Kate nods and then yawns really loudly. Chris begins to 
     stare out the window.

                                CHRIS
                    You know I feel like we should 
                    totally get her a present, or 
                    something. Don't you? I mean I know 
                    it's kind of spur of the moment but 
                    I just feel like we shouldn't come 
                    totally empty handed.

     Unknown to Chris, who's still looking out the window, 
     Kate is beginning to doze off a bit. She suddenly 
     collapses on the wheel, making the horn blow.

                                CHRIS
                           (turning to her)
                    Kate!

     The car is now off road.

                                CHRIS
                    Kate! KATE!

                                KATE
                              (sleepy)
                    Five more minutes.

     Chris grabs the wheel and struggles to turn it as her 
     body is laying on it.

     The Car is off road. Suddenly it starts to mow through a 
     row of trash cans.

     Kate finally wakes up and screams. She quickly slams the 
     brake, sending Chris forward. BAM. He has slammed his 
     head against the passenger window, smashing it up. There 
     seems to be some glass in his FOREHEAD. Some blood comes 
     out. Kate stares at him, in complete shock.

                                CHRIS
                    Kate...

                                KATE
                    Yes?

                                CHRIS
                    Darling...

                                KATE
                    Yes.

                                CHRIS
                    Love my life...

                                KATE
                    What is it, Chris?

                                CHRIS
                    Do I have...glass in my head?

                                KATE
                    Yeah.

     He lets out a weak laugh.

                                CHRIS
                    Good. For a second there I thought 
                    I was seriously hurt.

     INT. BRIAN'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM – SAME

     Will is still playing a video game. Casey, Joel, and 
     Reicther sit around in a circle. In the middle they are 
     helping themselves to the cake. 

                                CASEY
                    I'm worried.

                                WILL
                    About what?

                                CASEY
                    That we'll never see Stacy again.

                                JOEL
                    Why are you worried about that?

                                CASEY
                    Well, I would feel bad if I never 
                    saw her again and didn't even tell 
                    her goodbye when she left.

                                WILL
                    Don't worry, we'll see her again. I 
                    mean how can we not? She's Brian's 
                    sister. As long as we're friends 
                    with him we'll see Stacy around.

                                CASEY
                    I guess so.

                                REICTHER
                    Why are you being so morbid, anyway?

                                CASEY
                    I dunno, I always fear the worst. 
                    Like what if they get into a car 
                    wreck on the way there and we never 
                    see either of them again?

                                REICTHER
                    Then we go to their graves and say 
                    good-bye.

                                JOEL
                    It won't work on him, he's an 
                    Atheist.

                                CASEY
                    Just because you're atheist doesn't 
                    mean you can't believe in God.

     Everyone gives him a funny look.

                                WILL
                    Actually that's EXACTLY what it 
                    means.

     Chris looks surprised.

                                CASEY
                    Well the...I have some explaining

     Brian and Stacy are still talking.

                                STACY
                    So you didn't get stitches?

                                BRIAN
                    Nope.

                                STACY
                    You punched through a window and 
                    you didn't get stitches?

                                BRIAN
                    I said no.

                                STACY
                    I'm surprised you could punch 
                    through a window.

                                BRIAN
                    What's that supposed to mean?

                                STACY
                    It means I'm surprised you could 
                    punch through a window.

                                BRIAN
                    A window is just glass. It doesn't 
                    take much strength. Look, it's 
                    easy...

     Brian rears back his fist to punch the driver's side 
     window. He stops himself just in time.

                                BRIAN
                             (to himself)				
                    What did Will tell you? Think 
                    before you punch things.

     Stacy gives him a look.

                                BRIAN
                    What?

                                STACY
                    Alright then. See, this is 
                    nice, brother and sister being able 
                    to talk like this.

                                BRIAN
                    I bet most brothers and sisters 
                    Wouldn't wait until the day the 
                    other one is leaving for college to 
                    do it.

                                STACY
                    Don't ruin the moment.

                                BRIAN
                    I can't help it.

     They are both silent a moment.

                                STACY
                    Can I tell you something?

                                BRIAN
                    We've been talking for the last 
                    hour, you have to ask?

                                STACY
                    Well, it's just that this is a 
                    little...different.

                                BRIAN
                    How so?

                                STACY
                    Well, this is...life changing.

                                BRIAN
                    Everything is life changing.

                                STACY
                    Well let me put it this way. Mom 
                    doesn't know about it and I'm 
                    asking you to have it stay that 
                    way.

                                BRIAN
                    Now you've REALLY got my interest.
                    What's the scoop?

                                STACY
                    Well...I'm pregnant.

     Brian slams on the breaks sending them both reeling. The 
     car behind them honks loudly.

                                BRIAN
                    WHAT!?

                                STACY
                    I'm pregnant!

                    I mean, if you have the baby you'll 
                    have to find a way to support it.

                                BRIAN
                    And you'll be going to college in

                    someone to take care of it while 
                    you still go to college.

                                STACY

                    What the hell are you getting 
                    pissed off at me for?

                                STACY
                    Just shut up! I know I have a 
                    serious problem here and you're not

                                BRIAN
                    Hey don't take it out on me because

                    That was the wrong thing to say

     EXT. CRASH SITE - LATER

     There is an ambulance and two cop cars surrounding 
     Chris' busted up car. Chris is sitting on the back of 
     the ambulance while PARAMEDIC picks the glass out of his 
     head.

     A few feet away, Kate is talking to a POLICE OFFICER.

                                OFFICER
                    Then what happened?

                                KATE
                    Well, I started to doze off. I felt 
                    this really enormous tiredness come 
                    over me. 

                                OFFICER
                    Have you taken any drugs or 
                    consumed any alcohol today?

                                KATE
                    I took my medication.

                                OFFICER
                    Medication?

                                KATE
                    I'm bipolar, and I take medication 
                    to get me ‘regular,' so to speak.

                                OFFICER
                    How many did you take?

                                KATE
                    Just one pill.
                              (pause)
                    Well, maybe two. It could have been 
                    two.
                              (pause)
                    Actually two or three.
                              (pause)
                    Three or possibly four. That sounds 
                    about right, four.
                              (pause)
                    No more than five or six.

     The Officer writes this down.

                                OFFICER
                    Ma'am if you'll just follow me.

     Chris just shakes his head in shame. The officer leads 
     Kate to the squad car.

     and kissing.

                                STACY
                    I don't know about this.

                                DAVE
                    Don't worry, Stacy. Nothing bad can 
                    happen if you do it in a lake.

     Stacy gives him a serious "are you kidding" look.

                                DAVE
                    The water washes all those...
                    "juices" away.

     Stacy seems unsure. Dave begins to kiss her neck and she 
     seems to ready to give in. Finally she begins to kiss 
     him back after giving a "what the hell" look.

                                                     SMASH CUT TO:                                               

     INT. BRIAN'S CAR - SAME

     Brian is shaking Stacy awake. She finally gets up.

                                BRIAN
                    We're here sleepy head.

                                STACY
                    Oh.

     An awkward silence passes between them. Neither of them 
     is sure what to say.

                                BRIAN
                    Do you need help with your bags?

                                STACY
                    Yes please.

     They both get out of the car.

     INT. BRIAN'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - SAME

     Will, Joel, Casey, and Reicther are all sitting on the 
     couch. There are empty bags and bottles scattered all 
     over the living room.

                                WILL
                    What the hell are we watching?

                                JOEL
                    Something called "Degrassi."

                                CASEY
                    What's a "Degrassi"?

                                JOEL
                    It's this Canadian show about teens. 
                    It's sorta like Dawson's Creek but 
                    funny and with a plot.

     Will scoffs.

                                WILL
                           (imitates show; doing 
                           bad Canadian accent)
                    "I've got to tell you something, ay. I'm 
                     in love with your best friend."

                                CASEY
                          (Canadian accent) 
                    "No!"

                                WILL
                    "That's right. I'm in love with 
                    Edgar. He gives me all the Canadian 
                    bacon and maple syrup I can eat...and 
                    the mounty uniform really turns me on."

     They get a good laugh from this. Suddenly Debbie Vandele 
     comes through the door, she is a tad intoxicated.

                                DEBBIE
                    Where is Stacy?

                                CASEY
                    What?

                                DEBBIE
                    Stacy!

                                JOEL
                    What about her?

                                DEBBIE
                    Where is she?

                                REICTHER
                    We think Brian took Stacy to the 
                    airport.

                                DEBBIE
                    Okay good, that means I didn't fuck 
                    up big time.

     Beat.

                                DEBBIE
                    Wait, why are you all in my house?

									CUT TO:

     INT. AIRPORT - SAME

     Brian is helping Stacy with her luggage. They walk up to 
     a bench and Stacy looks off screen.

                                STACY
                    Well, my boarding for my flight 
                    doesn't start for a few minutes...
                    You want to sit and wait with me?

                                BRIAN
                    OK.

     They both sit down on a bench. There is another awkward 
     silence.

                                BRIAN
                    So this is an airport.

                                STACY
                    Yep.

                                BRIAN
                    The movie "Airplane!" gave me the 
                    impression that they were much funnier.

                                STACY
                    Yep.

                                BRIAN
                    What a let down. There are no Hari 
                    Krishna's passing out paper daisies 
                    for me to punch out.

     Another awkward silence follows.

                                STACY
                        (not looking at him)
                    I'm sorry.

                                BRIAN
                    About the Hari Krishna's?

                                STACY
                    No, about the other thing.

     Brian looks a little surprised and it takes him a moment 
     to respond.

                                BRIAN
                    Oh. I'm sorry too, I didn't mean to 
                    give you a hard time.

     Beat.

                                BRIAN
                    Have you given any more thought about 
                    what your going to do about...um, 
                    you know...
                       (indicates her stomach)

                                STACY
                    Oh...well, I've been thinking that 
                    when I deliver I'm going to put it 
                    up for adoption.

     Beat.

                                STACY
                    I know it's not the right thing to 
                    do, but with my condition and 
                    situation in Chicago it might be 
                    the best thing for me to do.

     Brian nods.

                                PA SYSTEM (V/O)
                    Flight 26B is now boarding, flight 
                    26B.

                                STACY
                    Oh, that's my flight.

     They both stand and begin to walk in one direction.

                                STACY
                    Brian, I've got something to say. 
                    And it's not hard because we're 
                    siblings. See when I first moved 
                    here -

     She suddenly falls to the ground.

                                STACY
                    Son of a BITCH! Ow!

                                BRIAN
                    You okay?

     She stands up.

                                STACY
                    I broke the heel of my shoe!

                                BRIAN
                    Big whoop.

                                STACY
                    Hey, these are expensive shoes.

     She examines her shoe, while Brian waits for her to 
     finish her speech.

                                BRIAN
                    Well?

                                STACY
                    Well what?

     Brian sighs.

                                BRIAN
                    Weren't you about to say something?

                                STACY
                    Oh shit, I forgot.

                                BRIAN
                              (sighing)
                    You forgot?

                                STACY
                    Yeah.

                                BRIAN
                    Didn't you write it down or 
                    something?

                                STACY
                    No because it came from the heart, 
                    asshole. Surely you can understand 
                    that.

                                BRIAN
                    From the heart my ass, and don't 
                    call me 'Shirley.'

     Beat.

                                PA SYSTEM (V/O)
                    Final call for Flight 26B.

     Brian and Stacy give each other a look. Pause.

                                STACY
                    See ya' around.

                                BRIAN
                              (joking)
                    Not if I can help it.

     She begins to walk away.

                                STACY
                    Good-bye.

     He nods.

     He watches her as she begins to walk down the airport 
     terminal. As Stacy gets further and further away from 
     the camera, the picture starts to blur a bit. It 
     continues to blur until the entire picture completely 
     unrecognizable. All we can hear are sounds of people and 
     the airport PA system.

                                                        FADE OUT.
                           
                            END OF EPISODE
